No wander people keep saying once you started working, u'd have less and less time for yourself(Except for those insurance agent or direct sales who always claimed that they can work "whenever" they want). I've been working for a month now, and my internet surfing and blogging activity had dropped signicficantly,dun even mention about yum char and "lan gu" sessions. well, dun get it wrong, im still pretty much enjoying my new(1st) job, but.. well, what can i say, just that im glad that i had a wonderful campus life before this.
I knew about the tense working environment and atmosphere in this company well before i work here. I can never complain about the pressure and work load that pouring onto me, becoz at the end of the day, i pretty much asking for it myself. But one thing really got me is, i was given 3 weeks to do my preparation before a senior hand me over her job. Now that she's in US, and left me alone in Melaka.. and i am suppose to handle all her previous project. Trying to be optimistic, im taking this as a chance for me to grow and hoping to gain as much as i could. Devastation might be damaging, but devastation can oso creates opportunity. yeah~!!!
Yesterday was one of the most interesting working day of mine. I was responsible to do a presentation, reporting the progress of my project and what i achieve so far. Despite the fact that i still totally blur about the "projects" that handle by me, i still need to do it. Becoz of this presentation, i spent the whole morning preparing for it, to understand the data and history of the project... to forecast what kind of qs the Department Head would most likely to ask. The clock was tickling away... the presentation is at 2.30 pm.. and i was in total
However, my colleauge did put in some effort to comfort me. One of them told me something that comforted me for a while:
1 Usually, only 1 or 2 Section manager would attend. (which eventually all the Managers attended)
2 Vice preseident seldom attend this presentation. (he was right about this)
3. Even if VP is here, he is good to new guy. (still have no idea)
4. Department head got less stuff to ask. (he pint point every single mistake i made and comment about them)
5 . The presentation would end in a blink of eye. (i was like taking ages for it to end.)
That's sounded great to me, especially when i heard about the 4th statement. So i felt a lot less worry and paranoid.
Time flies with speed of light on that day... before i could realise, it's already 2.30 pm.. and the presentation time was just infront of my nose... i tried to convince myself that im as cool and water, that im well prepared and no chance for me to screw this, that im good in handling pressure. So i went on to stand infront of all the managers and department, and started my presentation with..
Good MORNING EVERYONE, im gonna present about .......
this is one helluva 1st impression to the big guy! way to go, hai fee!!
